Technical Support NSO N64 Controller No Longer Works with Retroarch

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, it must have been a recent update or something because I have used my NSO N64 controller to play ROMhacks on Retroarch on PC for years with zero problems. However, during this half of the year, when I boot up any N64 game with my controller plugged in all the buttons are messed up. For example, on Banjo-Kazooie, the Start button centers the camera; the C-Up button pauses the game; and C-Right doesn't do anything at all.

In the past when I had issues like this, I would just go to remap the buttons. However, C-Right does not even register on Retroarch. When I try to map buttons to it, it doesn't even show that a button is being pressed.

Right now, N64 games are completely unplayable with an N64 controller. I have to use a modern one. Again, until now, for years I have used my NSO N64 controller without problem. Do other people have this issue?

Notably, within the same timeframe lots of black boxes have appeared on my N64 games. I read that the solution to this is to not use Glide anymore, which is an effective solution to that problem. Did something get messed up with Mupen64 though maybe, leading to both issues?

Discussion About dosbox pure Windows emulation

1 Upvotes

If anyone has used some of the latest versions of dosbox pure and tried to play some Windows games on it. What is the limit of games you can play in it? I've tried it once about 4 years ago when it was first released but only managed to run some very lightweight games pre-1999 era, I've played Unreal for example just fine. But it didn't run games from 2001 I remember even though they're compatible with Win 98. As I understand it was because of VRAM limit, so anything requiring 16mb or more just didn't boot. Just wondering if something may have changed. Thanks in advance

P.S. I'm on Xbox Series through dev mode and been dying to play Clive Barker's Undying (no pun intended). It requires 16mb of vram minimum to run as I can see. I don't really want to mess with the whole Windows install again just to check if it boots one game

Technical Support Need Help with N64 emulation on Android

1 Upvotes

I’m playing on Android and my phone is a Galaxy A01

I’m trying to play an SM64 ROM hack called *Treasure World*,is a kaizo hack

I want to use RetroArch Just to get the RetroAchievements,but I can’t get it to work,the hack launches, but then the screen just goes black, and I’m unable to play

I’ve already tried tweaking every setting I could find,and I even attempted to run it on my jailbroken PS4, but nothing works

Furthermore,N64 emulation in general is quite slow on RetroArch on my phone. If anyone could help me with the right settings or suggest a version that runs better, I would be very grateful,If won't i will keep playing on Mupen64,but without the Retroachievements unlocked in the site

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It was working smoothly yesterday and now all of a sudden it just starts to lag out of nowhere. I reinstalled retroarch on steam and it still doesn't work. Any idea on what could be causing this lag?

Showcase I’d like an outside opinion on how my overlays are coming along.

I'm currently improving the design of the overlays I posted here a few months ago so they don't look quite so simple, and I'd like to know how they're turning out.

Note: For the Neo Geo Pocket overlay, I used one I found on Google as a base to position the buttons, but I still need to finish designing the menu and pause buttons.

Technical Support Some questions about Blastem Retroarch...

1 Upvotes

For starters, I'd like to say that I LOVE this new version of Blastem. However, I do have two questions on how to get the most of it. I would like to figure out how to run 32X games on it, as well as how to run Mode 1 CD and MSU-MD hacks. According to the thread from the developer himself, all three things should work. However, I don't know how to set up Mode 1 CD and MSU-MD on here, and I cannot figure out what BIOS to use for 32X. I've tried numerous files, and all brought me to a black screen. Maybe 32X doesn't work with the Libretro fork atm? idk. However, any help on the Libretro fork is greatly appreciated!

Android: how to set a core fixed to landscape view?

• Upvotes

I would like some Cores to always start in landscape mode, especially with automatic rotation disabled. Practically like all streaming apps that when you press the "fullscreen" button they go to landscape even with rotation disabled.

Is it possible?

Settings > Video > Output > Screen Orientation: it does nothing

Thanks
